Combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup water and dash of salt. Bring to boiling. Cook to soft crack stage (290 degrees). Add few drops red or green food coloring and 4-6 drops oil of cinnamon or oil of wintergreen. Gently swirl mixture to blend (the red coloring with cinnamon, green coloring with wintergreen).

Pour into 8x8x2 inch metal pan. Let stand a few minutes until film forms over top. Mark candy in little puffs, each about 3/4-inch square. Because candy is cooler at edges, start marking from outside and work toward the center.

Using a broad spatula or pancake turner, press a line across pan 3/4 inch from edge, being careful not to break through the film on surface. Repeat around other 3 sides of pan, intersecting lines at corners to form squares. (If lines do not hold shape, candy is not cool enough.) Continue marking lines to center.

While waiting for center to cool enough, retract previous lines, pressing the spatula deeper but not breaking the film. When spatula may be pressed to bottom of pan in all lines, candy will be shaped in square puffs. Cool, then turn out and break into pieces. Makes 100.

P.S. I used root beer, it colors itself; lemon and yellow color, etc. Get cinnamon from the pharmacy.
